THE BOILER: A Cinema, or... Temple of Sensation(s): Film as a rhetorical device for amplifying architecture Part 2 Project 2025 Jacob Tripp University of Tasmania Launceston | Australia The BOILER House Cinema is an adaptive reuse project situated within the historic context of the Polons & Baldwins textile factory (circa 1920s), now owned and occupied by the Door of Hope Church in Lutruwita, Tasmania. The BOILER factory once supplied energy to the entire facility but has now lost its core function, becoming a shell of its former self, leaving behind fragments and traces of its past use. This proposal aims to contribute to its cultural heritage by assuming a new role as a cinema, showcasing a diverse array of films, both old and new, as well as those yet to be made. At the heart of the concept, this cinema - or Temple of Sensalion(sJ - uses film as a rhetorical device to amplify architecture, acting to clarify the ambiguities that arise when these two disciplines intertwine. The four main fragments of the project (with others implicitly embedded) - Synecdoche, Ellipsis, Accumulatio, and Hyperbole - form the framework for the BOILER's conceptual and material design as a cinema, constituting on overall image and eliciting a proposal that represents an experiential space in pursuit of poetic and emotional affect.
